Angry Solved: Validation Problem
What I have earlier in the webpage:

HTML Code:
 <ul> <li><a title="Home" href="../">Home</a></li> <li><a title="Forum" href="/ff">Forum</a></li> <li><a title="Tech" href="/tech">Tech Section</a></li> <li><a title="Something" href="">Something</a></li> </ul>
What I have later in the webpage:
HTML Code:
<ul> <li>whatever</li></ul>
Xhtml validation error only for second paragraph:
Quote:
This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!

Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

1. Error Line 59 column 3: document type does not allow element "ul" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag.

<ul><li>whatever

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

It might be because you have the it within a <p> tag


HTML Code:
<div id="cs"> <p>

I could swear I tried that. Thanks!

They should have better advice on the Validation service.
